About Simple Chess

Simple Chess presents traditional chess on a checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an 8 by 8 grid. Two players compete with sixteen pieces each, including kings, queens, rooks, knights, bishops, and pawns.

The familiar objective gives every move purpose: protect your king while using the different pieces to create a winning attack. A game ends when one king is placed in unavoidable danger, so planning and defense matter as much as taking material.

How to Play Simple Chess

Use the mouse or touch controls to move pieces on the board.

Play with the standard set of kings, queens, rooks, knights, bishops, and pawns.

Move and capture according to each chess piece's normal role.

Protect your king while attacking the opposing army.

Tips & Tricks

  1. 1Before moving an attacking piece, make sure your own king is not exposed.
  2. 2Use pawns and the larger pieces together so one move supports another.
  3. 3When the enemy king is in danger, examine every possible escape square before calling the position decisive.
